Creating a plan to quit smoking can be an effective way to help someone break the habit. Here is a plan that could be used:

1. Set a quit date. This should be a date within the next week.

2. Prepare for the quit date. Identify and anticipate any potential triggers and how you will deal with them. Talk to your friends and family about your plan.

3. On the quit date, throw away all cigarettes, lighters, and ashtrays.

4. Identify smoking substitutes. Try chewing gum, deep breathing, or going for a walk when you would normally smoke.

5. Reward yourself. Give yourself recognition for achievements like making it an hour without smoking. 

6. Change your routine. Avoid triggers that make you want to smoke. Make sure to get plenty of rest and exercise.

7. Talk to your friends and family. Make sure your support system is aware of your plan.

8. Seek professional help if needed. If you find yourself struggling to quit, seek professional help from a therapist or doctor. 

9. Celebrate your successes. Celebrate your progress each day and remind yourself of how much further you are from smoking.
